Releases: crashinvaders/gdx-texture-packer-gui
4.13.0
This release doubles down on bringing in the KTX2 texture format (as part of Basis Universal output).
Since KTX2 is a direct successor to KTX, it's reasonable to drop support for old ETC1/ETC2/KTX encoders now.
Beware, if your project uses export to either of the old formats, it will be automatically migrated to KTX2.
- KTX2 container added to Basis Universal output file type.
- UASTC textures (
.ktx2
/.basis
) are always compressed with ZSTD. - ETC1/ETC2/KTX output support removed (in favor of KTX2).
- CLI mode to compress images into KTX2/Basis textures (
--basis-pack
). - Dockerfile added. Thanks to @Rubonnek. See #145
- Previously muted notifications can be unmuted from the settings window ("General" tab).
4.12.0
This release brings a bunch of long-awaited goodies (like CLI interface and selective multi-atlas export) along with a few important fixes.
Here's the whole list of important changes:
- Headless batch processing mode support. Read more https://github.com/crashinvaders/gdx-texture-packer-gui#command-line
- Option to select multiple atlases for processing. New action -
packMultipleAtlases
. See #67 - Atlases use the new libGDX atlas output format by default ("Legacy format" is unchecked).
- Add "show in file manager" contextual options.
- Basis Universal Textures updated to 1.16.4 and is nativelly supported on Linux arm32/arm64 (Raspberry Pi) and macOS arm64 (M1/M2 chips).
- Fixed file conflict errors when attempting to install from RPM package. See #140
- Fixed a crash on a project save when the output dir is set to any ascendant parent dir of the project-containing folder. See #126
- Fixed grid layout adds redundant top padding.
- Fixed hotkeys don't work if any text field is focused.
4.11.0
A long awaited release with a bunch of quality of life improvements (native file picker, warning notifications and a new settings menu) along with some bug fixes.
- Use OS native file dialogs (instead of cross-platform unified VisUI FileChooser).
- A brand new settings dialog uniting several specific feature configuration dialogs. Also includes more friendly tools to deal with custom hotkeys.
- Explicit packing warning notifications. #131
- Simplified Chinese localization. Thanks to @ZhReimu. #127
- Fixed pack clone dialog OK button crashes the app. #130
- Fixed "Legacy format" and "Pretty print" pack settings are not getting saved. Thanks to @Frosty-J. #132
- Fixed changing the app language to Chinese (either simplified of traditional has no effect. Thanks to @Frosty-J. #133
- Fixed anim8-gdx png compression always uses "Scatter" dithering algorithm and ignores the user selected one.
4.10.2
A hotfix release for the critically unstable 4.10.1 version.
- Fixed cannot change current atlas by clicking on pack list items. #122
- Fixed ninepatch images (".9.png" extension) are being ignored and packed as plain regions.
- Fixed pixel interpolation type is ignored for scale factors less than one.
- Possible fix for the "No default view controller found" rare crash during application startup. #92
4.10.1
FYI This release has a major regression bug! Please consider switching to the previous release - 4.10.0 until the patched version is available (later this month).
Bug description: You cannot change current atlas by clicking on pack list items. #122
This release focuses on general stability and minor UI improvements. It also introduces macOS M1 support!
- Fixed file path editing in file chooser dialog may result in a crash. #98
- Support for macOS arm64 (M1 chip). #110
- Added option to append input file extensions to region names. #108
- Window validates its size and location on startup. #113
- Fixed rare crash when the downloaded extension cache index is malformed. #100
- Minor UI improvements and some essential call to action views for newcomers.
- Smaller OS-specific distribution size (due to natives strip).
4.10.0
Along with many fixes, the new release brings an exciting feature - support for Basis Universal supercompressed GPU textures as an export file type. Be sure to check it out.
- Support for Basis Universal super-compressed atlas textures. See https://github.com/BinomialLLC/basis_universal
- Support for the new (LibGDX 1.9.13) texture atlas format. Which outputs much smaller data files.
- The app now forbids writing output atlas files to any directory matching the input files/dirs to avoid accidental source image files rewrite.
- Old PNG8 compression is replaced with anim8-gdx implementation. See https://github.com/tommyettinger/anim8-gdx.
- General project save/load errors now gracefully handled and a crash log is available.
- Fixed the main application window sometimes doesn't appear on startup on macOS devices.
- Fixed KTX(ETC1/ETC2) compression fails with NPE.
- Fixed crash when a project fails to load on startup.
- Fixed the input file absolute path sometimes is displayed wrong when the project is saved to a deeper directory hierarchy than the source images.
- Fixed the app freezes during the packing process on macOS.
4.9.0
- JRE 8+ is required to run the app.
- Migrated to LWJGL3 desktop backend. Expect lots of compatibility fixes.
- Simplified drag-n-drop. No visible overlay during the file drag action anymore.
- Pngquant (Imagequant) added as a PNG compression option.
- Show atlas region size on preview hover.
- Highlight a related atlas region on input file list mouse hover.
startOnFirstThread
JVM argument is no longer required on MacOS.- Linux DEB & RPM distribution packages.
- Fixed high DPI scaling issue.
- Fixed file based 9-patch pad values get displayed wrong (in case they are not defined explicitly in the input image).
- Fixed startup crash when an installed module's local files deleted on the file system.
4.8.2
4.8.1
4.8.0
- Atlases can be saved as indexed-mode PNG8 image (compression type). Thanks to @tommyettinger
- Asynchronous (non blocking) page preview loading.
- Multiple of four page size option added.
- Menu bar items (File, Pack, Tools, Help) have got appropriate key shortcuts (ALT+F/P/T/H).
- Fixed new version notification occasionally leads to a crash.
- Fixed programmatic 9-patch pad values are omitted if they are all zero.
- Fixed 9-patch editor crashes when all patch/content points at the same corner.
- Fixed 9-patch editor writes file based images (
*.9.png
extension) with black stroke visual artifacts. - Fixed global settings section values get reset upon UI reload (e.g. language change).
- Fixed global keyboard shortcuts no longer works when there is a modal dialog shown.
- Fixed exclude files do not work when are under input dir with recursive option enabled.
